A member asked:

I have body odor on one of my armpits so i tried using aluminum chloride, but it didn't worked. i've also tried natural remedies but nothing works. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Body Odor: Apocrine glands secrete a fatty sweat directly into the tubule of the gland. When you're under emotional stress, the wall of the tubule contracts and the sweat is pushed to the surface of your skin where bacteria begin breaking it down. Most often, it's the bacterial breakdown of apocrine sweat that causes an odor. You can try topical antibiotics and see if that helps.
